I was hanging out with what I considered to be some of the most beautiful people in the world, and what I realized really quickly is everybody had an insecurity. Everybody!

And I showed up, flew into Italy for the runway show.” Kutcher said he was put in a pink speedo, and weighed around 178 pounds at the time. He says after getting dressed for the show, a designer commented, “He’s too fat.” The actor brushed off the disappointing memory like a pro as he laughed, “Then I got fired.
Kutcher acknowledged the designer who ousted him from the show “had a specific thing that he wanted to see, that in his eye, was the right thing.” He continued, “It didn’t mean I was less.

Everybody’s got an insecurity.”
